Until Adam Henrique recovers from left thumb surgery look for Patrik Elias to center the Devils' second line.

Henrique is due back at the end of January. Elias has played both wing and center in his career. However, as a second line pivot there is no chance he will be on the ice at the same time Travis Zajac and Ilya Kovalchuk are. He's slightly more valuable as a winger. Bear that in mind on draft day.

Coach Paul Maurice talked about Little returning to the top line between Andrew Ladd and Michael Frolik. Little has been sidelined since Mar. 4 because of an upper-body injury. Get him back into your lineup if you normally would.

Andrew Hammond will be between the pipes for Ottawa on Tuesday versus Detroit.

He sat out one game with a lower-body injury and served as Craig Anderson's understudy in Sunday's loss to Florida. Hammond will be looking bounce back from his first regulation loss last Thursday when he allowed five goals on 22 shots to the New York Rangers.

He sustained the ailment in Monday's win over Montreal. Hedman will probably sit out Tuesday's game versus Toronto and then the Lightning will see where he's at with his recovery. Tampa Bay called up Slater Koekkoek as a possible replacement.

He was pulled in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders after allowing four goals on 11 shots, but on Saturday he earned a 23-save shutout versus Tampa Bay. The Red Wings have been having some goaltending issues this month between , but their offense has been firing on all cylinders.

It sounds like Patrick Kane (clavicle) is ahead of schedule and coach Joel Quenneville teased that there could be a very good update on the talented winger's status soon.

"There's been some excellent progress," Quenneville said Monday. "It could be good news. We'll see." Kane has been skating regularly for nearly two weeks and he was on the ice again on Monday in full gear. He suffered a broken clavicle on Feb. 24, which required surgery to repair, and his initial return wasn't expected to be until mid-May. Stay tuned to see if that has changed.

He posted a 4-0-0 record to go with a 1.22 goals-against average and a .962 save percentage to earn the honor. Dubnyk has been outstanding since joining the Wild. He owns a mark of 26-6-1 along with a 1.70 GAA, a .939 save percentage and five shutouts since Jan. 15.

Scott Darling will be in the crease for the Blackhawks Monday night against the Kings.

Corey Crawford just started for the Hawks Sunday night in Winnipeg so Darling will get the call Monday night. The 26-year-old rookie has appeared in 11 games this season and has a 7-3-0 record with a 1.84 goals-against-average and .938 save percentage. It's been a nice start to his NHL career and he'll look to continue the hot streak against a tough Winnipeg team.

Tyler Johnson will be absent from the lineup on Monday due to an upper-body injury.

He has notched one goal and one assist in his past eight games, but it's been a spectacular season for the sophomore forward. He has 26 goals and 67 points in 74 matches. Consider him day-to-day for now.
